Installing Drupal

I just installed Drupal 11 on Hostmonster. The status report shows an error "The database server version 5.7.23-23 is less than the minimum required version 8.0"

Will Drupal function under that version?

If not, should I reinstall a lower Drupal version? Even Drupal 10 requires 5.7.8. Will that work?

Or do I have to find a new host? I've happily used Hostmonster for a very long time.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to migrate my Drupal site to a new server running the latest version of Ubuntu with a LAMP stack. I’ve imported all the files from my old server to the new one, but I keep running into errors whenever I try to connect everything together.

So far, I’ve:

I'm using MAMP on my Mac. I installed Drupal 11. 

When I click on My Website, I see what looks like the default home page, with no theme at all. 

When I click on any link, I get "requested URL not found on this server". For example, when I click on CONFIGURATION, I get that error. The URL in the URL bar shows "http://localhost:8888/admin/config", so I think clean URLs is enabled. 

Hello,

I’m setting up Drupal on a shared hosting server, but I keep getting this error during the database setup step:

PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'drupal'@'localhost'

I’ve double-checked my database name, user, and password in settings.php, and they all seem correct. Could this be a permissions issue, or is there something else I should check?

Whenever we install a new site we use a profile which admittedly has a lot of configuration to import and modules to enable. We are beginning to run into out of memory issues with PHP when running a fresh install. The step which takes the longest is the install_config_import_batch. When I run an install locally, this step takes about 500 seconds and 350+ MB of memory.

What are some ways we can optimize this? Is there a way to skip this config import step and run it after the installation?

On admin/config/development/configuration/full/import

The error message "The directory ../config is not writable" probably indicates that Drupal is unable to write to the sync directory where configuration imports and exports are managed. What is the suggested path and where is it set?
